Staffing

We could brag about our staff and tell you how unusual it is to have waiters and chefs stay with a catering company for ten years. We could brag about how we hire fewer waiters and bartenders in order to give them more work and hire them as our exclusive staff. We could brag about how The Hearty Boys staff is the envy of Chicago’s catering industry. We could also tell you that we don’t want to brag...but we kind of do.

Your proposal will include one of our experienced off-premise chefs, sous chefs, waiters to pass and clear, bartenders, coat check, and one of Hearty Boys excellent event supervisors; most of whom have spent time working in our offices and understand all aspects of event management.
